Question

21. Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

3
(4, -6);m=3/5

Answer 1

y + 6 =
`(3)/(5)` (x - 4)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m =
`(3)/(5)` and (a, b ) = (4, - 6 ) , then

y - (- 6) =
`(3)/(5)` (x - 4) , that is

y + 6 =
`(3)/(5)` (x - 4)
